Multiple broadlinks

Hardware

Agree with above but from just looking at what you have posted it looks like you need to put a new “platform” and a - in front of each “platform”. That’s what turns it into list. Otherwise it just sees two hosts in the same entity and can’t figure out what you mean.

Yes, it seems very likely he used the ###### as a separator instead of the yaml list item. But why loose an opportunity to teach a little about the forum usage? :wink:

Broadlink as a switch platform. This is the way I do for multiple broadlinks

  1. configuration.yaml
    switch: !include_dir_list config/switches/

  2. create config folder and switches as sub-folder inside config folder

  3. make individual broadlink.yaml file example broalink1.yaml and broadlink2.yaml inside switch folder

  4. broadlink1.yaml
    platform: broadlink
    host: !secret ip_pro1
    mac: !secret mac_pro1
    timeout: 30
    friendly_name: “Pro1”
    type: rm
    switches:
    #Talaykaew 5
    kitchen_light_2:
    friendly_name: “kitchen light 2”
    command_on: ‘sgCMAAojCyMLIwsjCiMjDAsjIwwLIyMMIwwjDCMMCyMLIwsjCwABXwwiCyMjDAsjIwwKJCMMCyILJAsiCyMLIwsjIwwLIyMMCiQiDCMNIwwiDQsiDCIMIwoAAWALIwsjIwwLIyMMCyMiDQsjCiMLIwsjCyMLIyMMCyMjDAsjIg0jDCMMIwwLIwsjCyMLAAXcAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA6QpCAN8JFgkWCRYJFgkJFhYJFgkJFgkWFgkWCQkWFgkWCRYJCRYWCRYJCRYWCRYJFgkJFgkWCRYJFgkWCRYJFhYJCRYJFukKQgDfCRYJFgkWCRYJCRYWCRYJCRYJFhYJFgkJFhYJFgkWCQkWFgkWCQkWFgkWCRYJCRYJFgkWCRYJFgkWCRYWCQkWCRY=’
    command_off: ‘sn40AAwjJA0MIyUMDSMkDCUMJAwNIyUMDCMMIwwAAWMMIwwjJAwMIyQMDCMkDAwjDCMMIwwjDCMAAAAA’
    kitchen_aircon:

  5. broadlink2.yaml
    platform: broadlink
    host: !secret ip_pro2
    mac: !secret mac_pro2
    timeout: 30
    friendly_name: “Pro2”
    type: rm

Here is also what you can do if you don’t want to split the config into multiple files as Sunonline suggested:

- platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.121
  mac: '34:EA:34:D0:AB:19'
  timeout: 15
  switches:
    tv_phillips:
      friendly_name: "Phillips Tv Power"
      command_on: 'JgAcAB0dHB44HhweGx4cHR06HB0cHhwdHB8bHhwADQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA='
      command_off: 'JgAaABweOR4bHhwdHB4dHRw6HhsdHR0dOTocAA0FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA='
- platform: broadlink
  host: 192.168.1.125
  mac: '32:EF:56:D9:AH:23'

If you use rm pro. When you finish add the switch platform. You can have that in sensor platform to get the temperature from rm pro as well. This will give you sensor.office_temperature

sensor:
  platform: broadlink
  update_interval: 60
  host: !secret ip_pro1
  mac: !secret mac_pro1
  name: Office
  icon: mdi:temperature-celsius
  monitored_conditions:
    - temperature
11

Hi Sunonlin, thanks very much, I have the two broadlinks on one yaml file called tv.yaml, do I add the ip address for the broadlink again for the sensor?

12

O got it, I have to, thanks.

13

yes same broalink ip that you use but in different platform.

First platform is switch platform to get the switch.
Second platform is sensor platform to get the temperature.

14

After get temperature working. You might find this post also very interesting.

great, many thanks.

How about creating my own icon? can I do that?

21

yes you can. from the post below
entity_picture: /local/toaster.jpg <=== /local/ means www folder inside ha config folder. the picture name toaster.jpg is inside www folder

Thanks again!
